Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Abigail Breslin and Emma Stone in Zombieland Double Tap

Zombieland: Double Tap (2019) – Movie Review

Double Tap is such a direct sequel to Zombieland that it seems barely a year has passed. Gone are the surprise and the edge, but there’s enough left to pass the time.

Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver in Marriage Story

Marriage Story (2019) – Movie Review

Marriage Story is delicate and painful, tender and heartbreaking all at the same time, and in its messy complexity it feels true to life.

Les Miserables is a powerful film, one that speaks many different truths and does not pretend to have easy solutions.

Joe Pesci and Al Pacino in The Irishman

The Irishman (2019) – Movie Review

The Irishman is the ultimate gangster movie; not necessarily the best, but certainly definitive, with the dramatic weight of a life long lived.

Timothee Chalamet in The King

The King (2019) – Movie Review

The King is dispassionate, and sometimes drab, but it keeps Shakespeare’s insight and recreates his literary style.

Knives Out

Knives Out (2019) – Movie Review

Knives Out has a smart script, a brilliant cast, and a humor as sharp as its title suggest. It is not the whodunit you expect; it is better.

Gary Oldman and Antonio Banderas in The Laundromat

The Laundromat (2019) – Movie Review

Soderbergh’s latest tries to do many things but doesn’t stick around long enough to develop any of them. A stellar cast is mostly squandered with brief roles that don’t leave an impact.

Linda Hamilton and Natalia Reyes in Terminator: Dark Fate

Terminator: Dark Fate (2019) – Movie Review

What I wanted from Dark Fate was to see Linda Hamilton being badass in the most bitter, gritty fashion possible, and in that regard the movie delivers.

Gabriel D'Almeida Freitas and Xavier Dolan in Matthias & Maxime

Matthias & Maxime (2019) – Movie Review

For such a prolific director, Dolan isn’t always making the same film. Here he’s crafted a beautiful portrait of a fierce, messy friendship.

Kathy Griffin in A Hell of a Story

Kathy Griffin: A Hell of a Story (2019) – Movie Review

Aptly titled, A Hell of a Story shows a different Kathy Griffin, one that has weathered a harrowing ordeal and come out of it with truths to tell.
